bound results

[wmhop]

The idea and advantages of bound parameters are pretty clear to me. But I'm having trouble with the real advantage of using bound results. Would someone care to enlighten me?

It just helps make your code a little easier to understand and simplifies things a bit. So instead of writing

echo "Category Name: ".$row['catName'] ;

You could write

echo "Category Name: ".$category ;

This could help with a really complex result set that you were looping through and doing a lot of stuff to each row.
